Olympia Hiking & Backpacking

The Hiking and Backpacking Committee offers hikes year-round and backpacks during the warmer months. Enjoy day hikes or extended trips in the wilderness. Enjoy fishing, photography and the simple pleasures of carrying your camp on your back.

HIKE WITH US!

Hikes are scheduled year-round. Mid-week outings are also offered. Hikes are all led by our volunteer leaders, most of whom have years of experience exploring Washington's backcountry. Hikes of all difficulties are led through the Olympia branch and we require the 10 essentials on all day hikes.

FAMILY HIKES

The Olympia Branch Family Hiking Committee is a sub-Committee of the Olympia hiking committee established to allow families and their young children a way to get out and explore nature in family friendly hiking activities.

Exploring nature

These are easy paced hikes designed to allow hikers to enjoy the beauty of the natural world. They are often theme based: waterfalls, wildflowers, photography, bird watching and sometimes include a subject matter expert.
